Reese Witherspoon

Ok.. I already think Reese Witherspoon is a smart, cute, and funny lady. But after I saw her interview regarding her newly produced movie (Penelope) on Good Morning America ....I love her even more! The basis behind Penelope is about a little girl (named Penelope) who has inherited a pig-like snout for a nose due to a family curse.



Here's a piece of the interview that I just LOVED:

Reese W: The character Penelope really spoke to me.. Finding what is really beautiful about you. What your perceived imperfections are.



GMA: Children are sometimes very cruel to someone who is very different.

Reese W: Oh yeah. I think we all sort of deal with that. In our own childhood or in raising children. But that is sort of an informative experience. I wouldn't want any of my children to miss out on that teasing or bulling. Don’t you think it kind of makes you who you are? When you don’t’ make the soccer team? And you cant....That is thing that kind of drives me crazy about today. Right? Where everyone wins the award. Everyone's the MVP. NO! THERE NOT! OK! I distinctly recall the 2 weeks of crying because I didn't make the softball team. It made me interesting. You know?



Dude!! I love that. She was totally saying what I was ranting about a few blog posts back (aka: Dove ad). You don't need to change a definition of what something really is. Just be confident in yourself and see things for what they are. Be happy and work with what you got... because its good enough! You can't be the best at everything! It's impossible. So what if your not the most superficially beautiful person in the world? You dont have to change the definition to feel good about yourself. Find out what is amazing about you... so what if its not superficial?
